Under the law, following somebody can be considered stalking. Secondly, it is not a matter of inconvenience, it is a matter that a mere warning that it should be done at a "safe" distance denotes danger attached to such activity. Why are the compliance office and neighborhood watch in existance if it is up to the residents to do their work. I told them where it was and the exact time it occurs each day. That should have been enough for action of their part.

I can hear it now! Me, "Hello, police, somebody just robbed the bank." Police, "did you follow them home to get an address for us." Me, "NO" Police, "...well it can't be that much of a problem if you didn't follow them home."
